The pattern is best seen when the paper is held up to the light, similar to a watermark. This is created by forming the paper on a wire mesh which carries the chain and laid pattern. This creates lines where the paper fibres are thinner, leaving the impression of the wire mesh in the sheet. This texture is usually made more visible when drawing media is applied to its surface, as a greater amount will be deposited on the raised lines than on the recessed lines.<\/p>\n<h2>Hot Press, Cold Press and Rough Textures for Watercolour Paper<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1420981\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1420981\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1420981 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/HP_CP_rough_textures_atmos_2.jpg\" alt=\"Art Paper Textures\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/HP_CP_rough_textures_atmos_2.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/HP_CP_rough_textures_atmos_2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/HP_CP_rough_textures_atmos_2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/HP_CP_rough_textures_atmos_2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/HP_CP_rough_textures_atmos_2-620x413.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/HP_CP_rough_textures_atmos_2-192x128.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/HP_CP_rough_textures_atmos_2-940x627.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1420981\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Examples of hot press (left) and cold press (centre and right) textures found on cylinder mould made watercolour paper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/2021\/01\/13\/glossary-of-art-paper-terms\/#cylinder-mould-made\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>cylinder mould-made<\/strong><\/a> watercolour papers are textured using woollen felts, which give cold pressed (also known as NOT) and rough watercolour papers their distinctive natural-looking texture. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/2021\/01\/13\/glossary-of-art-paper-terms\/#hot-pressed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Hot pressed<\/strong><\/a> cylinder mould-made watercolour papers are pressed between hot metal rollers, to give them the smooth surface that makes them suitable for highly detailed work.
